Battlefield 3 'End Game' DLC detailed
by Steve Watts, Dec 20, 2012 10:05am PSTThe final announced piece of downloadable content for Battlefield 3 is coming up, and DICE has detailed what we can expect to see from it. The "End Game" DLC will bring back the Capture the Flag mode, and add a host of new maps and vehicles to keep you occupied.
The official Battlefield site (via CVG) reveals that the DLC will add a new dropship to provide "rapid deployment" of troop transports, air drops, and vehicle drop capabilities, plus three new vehicles including dirt bikes. It will also pack four maps to test out all the new toys on.
This will close out the "season" of content, and as DICE hasn't said otherwise, seems likely to close out the game's DLC plans altogether. It is called "End Game" after all. No release plans were discussed, but like the others it will hit Premium PlayStation 3 members first, then Premium members on other platforms, followed by the standard PS3 exclusivity, and then other platforms. Maybe for DICE's next game or season, the release schedule will be a little less convoluted.

This is of course, not getting into a debate about paid DLC. I will point out that all of the new maps are insanely well made. This wasn't a quick moneygrab, you get your money's worth.
Now I agree that there are many maps that cater to the CoD style of play, but that's a fair attempt to broaden their player base. While I don't prefer them, they can be a fun change of pace now and then.
As for unlocks, while they're a little annoying, I much prefer the variety of weapons and customizablility as opposed to the either/or unlocks of BF2/2142.
